Earl Williams
J. D. Cate
W. H. Crumbaker and Citizens of Southlake
The Mayor called the meeting to order and explained the reason for the
meeting. He thanked the many persons who were present for coming.
He said, quote,"We want to get the facts to the public about the
Proposed Municipal Gas System." He then gave a history of what has
happened thus far with the Gas System. He explained to the visitors
that Lone Star Gas had given the City of Southlake an inadequate
proposal for a gas system. The Council made plans for a municipally
owned gas system because Lone Star would serve only a small portion
of the population if they were given a franchise. r
The Mayor also reported on the hearing in Austin which he attended on
behalf of the City.
There was a question and answer session. Mr. Art Clifton had some
questions and Mayor Schell had some answers. The question and answer
session grew into a long discussion."
Before the meeting was over, the Mayor and the Council were able to
get across to the visitors present why the Council had found it nec-
essary to go into the gas business.
